Hi, my name is Julie . I am a lifelong resident of Livingston County, currently living in Howell with my husband Todd and our three dogs, Cori, Marilyn and Newman.  My career in dentistry started seven years ago when I began researching bottle mouth, a condition from which my nephew suffered. Through my findings, I was able to instruct my brother how to proceed with his son's care and helped ensure that my nephew received the extensive full mouth treatment that he needed. Since that time, my passion for dentistry, and specifically pediatric oral health, has grown. For the past seven years, I have worked as Dr. Goodell's assistant and the office's treatment coordinator, both positions that I find very rewarding. Inspired by my nephew's success, I continue to enjoy focusing my efforts on educating parents about the important role they play in the oral hygiene of their children.

 

Hi, my name is Tami , R.D.H. I began my education by earning an associate's degree in criminal justice from Madonna University. After graduating in 1994, I took a job as a dental assistant, and shortly after, I decided to make dentistry my life's work. In 2002, I graduated from Lansing Community College with a degree in dental hygiene, and for the past seven years, I have worked with Dr. Goodell and our outstanding team. I took this position because of my strong agreement with Dr. Goodell's philosophy on patient care, and I continue to take pleasure in it today. I deeply enjoy working in this office because it affords me great freedom to plan and complete patients' treatment and flexibility between my job and caring for my family. I currently reside in Fenton with my 4 year old daughter Zoe, our two cats Millie and Archie, and our toy poodle, Belle.  In my spare time, I love taking Zoe running in her jogging stroller.
